Pros

Helping brides choose a gown is a happy and even heartwarming process.

Cons

When I worked there in 2016 or 17, the registers were so outdated they must have been around since the 1990s. Like circa pre-internet era. Like green letters in a black background. Hard to use and confusing. Never enough hours to distribute among all the sales girls and some of them will cheat you out of your commission by claiming the customer as theirs in the computer. Company expected sales reps to sell gown to bride same day when in reality what girl wants to buy before shopping around? Unrealistic expectations, scarce hours, commission likely to be stolen by one of countless coworkers or denied by the company itself.
